Madaxa slips through the others and runs in, sliding to a stop next to one of the tables. There's a whistle as his rapier whips through the air toward Magenta. ◈ Move
Madaxa nods to Zarzuket, "sounds like a good plan." He eyes the warhammer, wishing he had the skills to melt it down and make a new rapier. When the party is ready, he move to the door and takes a listen.

Madaxa looks south toward the lefthand door and raises an eyebrow. He points it out to Zarzuket, "unless I'm thoroughly lost, I think that loops back toward where we were a few minutes ago." He walks down and listens to see if he can hear the others.
Assuming he's correct and the door isn't trapped, he continues South, "let's see what's down here."
Madaxa moves east, checking the
Madaxa is careful not to touch any of the rods as he moves to examine the door to the north. He waves the others forward and opens it if he detects nothing of note.
Madaxa opens the door and steps into the room.
Madaxa grins, nodding his thanks as he stows the artisan tools. He hands his old, plain toolset to Dredd. He also carefully packs he crafter's eyepiece to finish at a later time. He moves over to examine the door in the north wall for any tricks or traps and tries to determine if anyone is waiting on the other side.
Madaxa moves into the room, using the table to slide past and behind the red cultist. He slashes twice at the man's back. ◈
Madaxa makes sure they grab anything of value, including Ragnulf's letters, and moves on to check the door at the next room.

Madaxa nods at Zarzuket's warning and uses his tools in lieu of bare hands.
While Dredd pokes the door and Zarzuket views it with magic, Madaxa approaches with his tools, curious if it's even locked. Assuming no one warns him not to, he runs his hands over the door, looking for a seam or depression, knocking lightly a few times to determine if it's actually a door or merely a fancy wall.
Might be smart for someone to get a Repair Toolkit - I would if I had the weight. Can I get caltrops?
Generally immune to shows of emotion, Madaxa finds himself a bit overwhelmed by the gratitude expressed. He stands toward the back just smiling slightly and nodding his head, letting the others take the lead.
Stealth to Expert
Madaxa's head reels as the sinspawn bites him. He gags and ◈ retches before feebly trying to attack it and step away.
Madaxa ◈◈ sprints along the wall in an attempt to get behind the creature. He slides to a stop next to the archery target and ◈ feints as if he's going to attack.
Feint: Critical Success You throw your enemy’s defenses against you entirely off. The target is off-guard against melee attacks that you attempt against it until the end of your next turn.
Success Your foe is fooled, but only momentarily. The target is off-guard against the next melee attack that you attempt against it before the end of your current turn. Critical Failure Your feint backfires. You are off-guard against melee attacks the target attempts against you until the end of your next turn.
Madaxa stows his dagger and checks the edge on his rapier, "good information.' He moves toward the door, looking back to the others, "shall we?"
Madaxa tries not to wince as he's healing, focusing on the dagger he twirls in his hand, "what can you tell us about how your friend fight? Are there any magic users among them? How would you subdue them?"
+1 on not killing where we don't need to.
Do we have a place we're tracking loot? 1x +1 Greatsword
Madaxa's vision starts to narrow as the leader's sword nearly kills him, this must be what it's like to be caught off guard. He thinks he waves thanks to Dredd as he flails about ◈ before ◈ stepping away and ◈ leaping back to hide behind Dredd.
Madaxa peers around the corner trying to figure out the best way through the crowd when Dredd flattens the blue esipil. He ◈ slips past the champion and ◈ leaps over the sandpit to land beside the leader. The rapier's blade glints as it arcs toward white.
Madaxa hisses at the cats, "bad kitties! He rattles the rapier at his belt to attract the purple creature's attention while he stabs it with his dagger. ◈
Madaxa catches Dredd's attention and raises an eyebrow, subtly leering at the loquacious lady. He frowns slightly when Dredd's eyes narrow and he shakes his head. Disappointed that she's not a mark, Madaxa hides the dagger behind his back, keeping it ready, "just in case".
"Can you describe the bottle? And did have any effect on the men that didn't rust?"
Madaxa nods to the cats, he spent time watching them in town to learn how to sneak around better. "Sounds good Zarzuket. Maybe the cats will warn us if anything comes in behind us."
Madaxa stows the antiplague and elixir, thanking Zarzuket. "Where to? Take these stairs right here?" He moves over to listen again, ensuring nobody has had the chance to sneak up on them.
That all makes sense to me.
Madaxa pays attention to the staircase while Dredd checks out the door.
Madaxa grins when he sees the mechanism for the trap, "should we disable this in case we need to make a hasty retreat?" He peers out the window before noticing the spears, "and what do we have here?" He examines the potency crystal, "I think I can pull this off and put it on something more useful once we have some more time. Dredd, can you make this spear a little smaller so it'll fit in a pack?" After handing the spear to Dredd, he looks at the wheel again, deactivating the trap through conventional means or by jamming a spear or two in the mechanism.
Madaxa takes a closer look at the cold iron greatsword to see if there's any rust, "I wonder if magic items are immune from whatever is going on. Might fetch a pretty penny in town if so."
Madaxa eyes the gear, "Can anyone use the hammer or that greatsword? Might be smart to, uhh, relieve him of them just in case he's still angry when he wakes up." He moves to the door in the southern wall and takes a listen.
Madaxa kneels beside Zarzuket and searches the smith for anything of interest, "it's a shame this went down like that. Wish we'd been able to have a chat."
Madaxa is about to speak when the paranoid blacksmith raises his hammer in anger. He ◈ steps forward and tries to duck under the hammer to get a good angle with his blade.
